There have been reports on the comic-savvy websites that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, who are twins, were in the current draft of Avengers 2 via Joss Whedon and Marvel Studios. Fox is also gung-ho on that character, as Bryan Singer, director of X-Men: Days Of Future Past announced on Twitter that he’d cast Evan Peters to play that role in his film for Fox. More intriguing is that Peters played in Kick-Ass alongside Johnson. I’ll let you know if this embryonic situation turns into something real and Taylor-Johnson gets fitted for spandex.Quicksilver is the son of Magneto, and possesses superhuman speed. He’s been a popular character in the Marvel universe since first appearing in 1964 in the X-Men comics. Kick-Ass, of course, has no discernible super powers to speak of, but he carried a movie to sequel status, so that’s something.
